Thread: Montreal Canadiens signed Kaiden Guhle (3 Years / $1,345,000 AAV)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsFan9</b></div><div>smh most of the guys you mentioned are either healthy scratches, career AHLers, or guys we will not sign. Top four and Romanov are the only true NHLers as of right now</div></div>

And I'd argue that one of Kulak/Mete is gone by the end of this season. Anyone who is concerned about having too many prospects in a position doesn't understand drafting

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>Pitlick, and Larsson. Were you not looking at the signings?</div></div>

I didn't even know of them, they're a little under-the-radar. They have 18 and 20 pts from last season. That's not adding much. They should at least have gone after a guy like Mike Hoffman.
Maybe I'm pessimistic on this gloomy Wednesday but I think this team is one of the worst teams ever.

What additions exactly? They are already so far from the playoffs, and now that they lost those draft picks (they didn't pick until what, 93 or something thins year) they will be a dumpster fire for a good five years. I don't even see guys like Keller and Kuemper staying around for that.

Wherever Gally goes, it won't be Montreal and it won't be for 7 digits. He's not making more than $950K. He may even decide to play elsewhere to be honest.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habrye</b></div><div>Evans is not exempt. Poehling is though. RFA rules are how they determine it (not ELC). Poehling had to play 40 games as a pro in 18/19 and he only played 1. Don't believe me?

Oh really?! Oh ok sry then <a href="/users/Kotkaniemi15" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Kotkaniemi15</a> . I thought for sure, seeing as if they allow the teams to burn a year of ELC at the end of the season then that whole year would count as experience. Hmm ok.

Thread: Habs fans relax ffs Bergy is thinking of Exp Draft

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Counter points:

1 - Michael McNiven already meets the requirement.
2 - Chiarot is better than Edmundson and has a better contract. Edmundson won’t be protected, and if Seattle has the stupidity to pick him, most habs fans would rejoice. But it is likely that Seattle picks the player that has the best season out of Kulak, Mete, Juulsen, & Fleury.
3 - Poehling is exempt, and not worthy of a spot even if he were. And Armia probably doesn’t come back, even if he did, it would be after the expansion draft. It would be ridiculous for the habs not to protect Toffoli or Anderson.</div></div>

CounterCounter points:
1) McNiven might not even be worth a contract and may go elsewhere seeing as he's 4th on the Habs depth chart (Europe). But ok I guess this is a possibility.
2) Maybe Chariot is better, but they have the same $$$ value contract but Chariot's is shorter. SO if anything Chariot has a worse contract because he can get a raise sooner, which he will.
3) Peohling and Evans are <strong>NOT</strong> exempt. We'll see about Toffoli and Anderson, and how this season goes, but they may be worth to leave dangling.

Thread: Moving forward after Allen extension

At the end of the day this season will have a huge impact on who is protected and who isn't. Toffoli and Anderson play RW and heavy go-to-the-net games and Drouin is LW playmaker, so I don't see how Drouin can be replaced by those two. But ok let's see.
The most glaring contract from above is the KK contract. He'll be bridged for sure, but no way he'll take less than 3.5M. He's top 2/3 center (let's see how this season goes, and Mtl obviously see him as a top 2. He plays PP, will have 3 pro seasons under him. Contract above is too little. I would say 3yrs x $4M.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Anthonybj96</b></div><div>Poehling doesn't have to be protected and I really doubt Bergevin will protect Evans instead of a guy like Toffoli</div></div>

Yes Poeling does. This season is his 3rd professional season. Evans also and he has developed really well. I guess it all depends on how this season goes, but it might be best for Bergevin to almost force Seattle to take a contract heavier than $3m AAV. Toffoli is great, don't get me wrong. But if there are 4 real good RWs, we might not be able to make room for them all.

Thread: Habs fans relax ffs Bergy is thinking of Exp Draft

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>Sorry... why is he protecting Drouin, Armia, and Evans over Toffoli and Anderson?</div></div>

1) Evans is almost a rookie C with more growth to show.
2) Drouin is a playmaker.
3) Armia will have a cheaper contract although is a downgrade for sure
4) With the depth at RW (Gally, Armia, Toffoli/Anderson, he can afford to lose one of those last two who have significant contracts and sort of play the same way.

All this is dependent on how the first season goes obviously, if Anderson is amazing and Armia is his usual self, maybe he protects Anderson instead. Who knows. At the end of the day Bergy has many options and they are all good.

Thread: Habs Making More Moves

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>Both are better than Allen for starters, especially Raanta. Raanta is making less than Allen too so that argument doesn't even make sense. Edmonton isn't trying to move Koskanen so that also doesn't make sense. Maybe you will get lucky and Seattle will take that Allen contract off you next year but no one is touching it right now</div></div>

I disagree with you 100%. Allen is better than both of those guys, and Allen took a pay hit over two years.
For a backup goalie who will be playing 25/30 games a year, this is a good contract.
The only thing I don't like about it is I am hoping Primeau can come in sooner.
Also, Bergy needs to have Allen signed for the Exp draft (he has to have a signed goalie to offer unprotected)

I know what you mean, I can read stats too. I'm just saying he won't play enough hockey to reach 20g. He'll be a 3rd or maybe 4th liner and he'll miss games to injury again.

I see Byron as the least likeliest to score 20g on this team. I woulnd't have included him on this

Thread: Cant Be Shed

Woo there are a lot of overpayments here.
KK won't get more than 5M unless he hits 60 pts this year. Likely won't happen. He should get a bridge deal.
Lehk will be lucky to make the same next year as this year ($2.4M). Sure he can penalty kill but that's it. Toffoli and Anderson both kill penalties soooo, he needs to bring something else.
Personally, I don't think the Habs can afford 3 centermen each making more than $5M in future. So Danault might go if Poehling or Evans show they can fill the void.

I just think they would have been better off picking up someone else's bad contract and getting prospects back. Like Alzner, for instance, or Turris before he was bought out

So, you replace a Bobby Ryan contract wth a Matt Murray contract. Pierre Dorion may have done very well with this rebuid, but his contract signing is gawd awful

I get what you're saying, but I hate that GMs feel like they need to "preserve" a business relationship with other GMs. Their jobs are to make their teams better, not make friends with other GMs.
If GMs are worried about other GMs pulling a Brian Burke and pissing and moaning to everybody and the media, just remember which of the latter are unprofessional. Making an OS or acting offended by a process which is allowed by the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Salzy</b></div><div>

He hasnt on a regular basis, Hes been solely a winger for 4 and a half seasons now, he isnt nearly as effective in the middle, he played a bit of C between 14-16 but was always primarily a W in the NHL</div></div>

Then I don't see the Habs needing Rackell. We already have so many bottom-9 wingers. Armia, Lehkonen, Byron, Anderson, Drouin, Weal (:veryangry ), and maybe even Peohling now.
